W.J. Wheeler Insurance Agency, of South Paris and Bethel, has been serving the Oxford Hills area since 1864 and is a fifth generation run family business, according to a news release from the chamber.
The agency was nominated for its quality customer service and the nomination stated “what a great resource Michael (Newsom) and his team are to the community, especially when it comes to navigating the challenging health insurance waters.” It was voted Business of the Month by the chamber membership committee.
